leaving on a jet plane / take me home country roads

my bags are packed and i'm ready to go

i'm standing here outside your door

i hate to wake you up to say goodbye

'cause i'm leaving on a jet plane

don't know when i'll be back again

almost heaven

west virginia

blue ridge mountains

shenendoah river

life is old there

older than the trees

younger than the mountains

growing like a breeze

country roads

take me home to the place i belong

west virginia

mountain mama

take me home

country roads

all my memories gather 'round her

miner's lady

a stranger to blue water

dark and dusty

painted on the sky

misty taste of moonshine

teardrop in my eye

country roads

take me home to the place i belong

west virginia

mountain mama

take me home

country roads

i hear her voice

in the morning hour she calls me

the radio reminds me of my home far away

and drivin' down the road

i get the feelin'

that i should have been home yesterday

yesterday

so kiss me and smile for me

tell me that you'll wait for me

hold me like you'll never let me go

'cause i'm leaving on a jet plane

don't know when i'll be back again

oh babe

i hate to go

country roads

take me home to the place i belong

west virginia

mountain mama

take me home

country roads

country roads

take me home to the place i belong

west virginia

mountain mama

take me home

country roads
